Our good friend, Jerry Falwell, has important words . . . June 17, 2004 |
He may have important words, but you won't find any of them used in his
latest missive:
---------------------------------------
Falwell Confidential
Date: June 17, 2004
From: Jerry Falwell
PERSONAL ACTION IS THE ONLY WAY TO PRESERVE TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE
The U.S. Senate will likely vote on one of the most consequential
issues
facing the modern American family next month (July), when senators will
consider the passage of a Federal Marriage Amendment that would forever
secure marriage as a bond between one man and one woman.
It is therefore imperative that pro-family Americans immediately
contact
their two senators to voice their support for a Federal Marriage
Amendment.
I am urging everyone reading this column to immediately call each of
their
senators to courteously, but firmly, urge them to cast a vote in favor
of
such an amendment when it comes up for a vote in the Senate. In a
moment I
will tell you how to contact your senators, but first please allow me
to
make the case for traditional marriage in America.
Gary Bauer is reporting that a deal has been struck between Senate
Democrats
and militant homosexual activists to kill any effort to protect
traditional
marriage. Mr. Bauer, chairman of the Campaign for Working Families,
said
that, at present, many senators are "hiding behind a host of excuses to
avoid doing the only thing that will preserve marriage in America as
the
union of one man and one woman." That means the voices of those
opposing
same-sex marriage are not being heard.
We have seen courts in Hawaii, Vermont, New York and Massachusetts
attempt
to redefine marriage, and this effort will continue - ultimately
successfully - unless a Federal Marriage Amendment is passed.
"The failure to pass an amendment," said Mr. Bauer, "will give a green
light
to liberal judges all across the country and the consequences will be
devastating. The words 'husband' and 'wife' will be meaningless.
Homosexual adoption will be instantly legalized and generations of
children
will be raised in wholly unnatural environments - deprived of ever
having
the benefit of a mother and a father. The public schools will teach
your c
hildren that two men 'marrying' each other are morally equivalent to
one man
and one woman. It's legal, so it must be okay! Our kids will be
taught how
to perform 'safe sodomy' in their sex education classes. Churches will
be
pressured to either abandon the Scriptures or lose their tax exempt
status
if they refuse to 'marry' homosexuals. That would be discrimination,
after
all!"
That's not the future I want for my children and grandchildren. It's
not
the future I want for evangelical churches across this nation.
It's therefore time to get down and dirty!
I am joining with Gary Bauer and other Christian leaders to implore
people
of faith to launch into immediate action. The time is now to flood
congressional offices with phone calls in defense of traditional
marriage.
Evangelical pastors also must take action in their pulpits, calling
their
congregations to action.
If we work together, we can literally impact the course of this vote
and
permanently safeguard traditional marriage in America.
Here is what you need to do right now: 1) Call both of your senators at
the
Capitol Switchboard (202-224-3121) and politely demand that they
co-sponsor
the Federal Marriage Amendment. Members of my staff have been calling
their
senators and report that Senate staffers record their names and zip
codes so
that the senators can be informed of their call. 2) After calling,
call
five friends or family members straight away and urge them to do the
same.
3) E-mail this column to everyone in your address book and ask them to
also
call their senators. 4) Share this column with friends at church and
at
work and encourage them to speak up. 5) Give this column to your
pastor and
recommend that he utilize it this Sunday morning (Fathers Day) to
encourage
everyone attending to go on the offensive by calling their senators.
As Gary Bauer said, "The politicians in Washington must be made to fear
for
their political lives!" If multiple thousands of concerned Americans
call
their senators during the next few days, that fear will be set in place
among those who are on the fence on this issue, and we will see
traditional
marriage preserved.
I urge you now to immediately call your senators (202-224-3121) to urge
them
to co-sponsor the Federal Marriage Amendment.
